The Last of Us Part 1 Gets Huge Upgrade With New Update

Naughty Dog has released a new update for The Last of Us Part I on PS5 that paves the way for a huge upgrade in the coming weeks. In early November, the PS5 Pro will launch and will provide improved performance and graphical options for select games in the PlayStation library. Now, thanks to the release of this patch for The Last of Us Part 1, Naughty Dog’s remake of its classic action-adventure game will be PS5 Pro ready the moment the hardware launches.

Downloadable now, update version 2.00 for The Last of Us Part 1 is primarily focused on making the game compatible with PS5 Pro. Outside of this, though, Naughty Dog has also made some smaller adjustments to the title. Namely, a handful of bugs in certain levels and others tied to Accessibility have now been squashed with this patch. It’s not a huge update overall, but it’s one that will be important for those looking to play TLOU Part 1 on PS5 Pro when the console arrives on November 7th.
